Theatre Royal Bath Productions, Birmingham Rep, and Kenny Wax's revival of Lyric Hammersmith Theatre’s production of Bugsy Malone is currently playing the Theatre Royal Bath with performances at Birmingham Rep set to begin July 27. The leading roles are played by young performers, ages 9–15, who are joined by an adult ensemble.

The musical, based on Alan Parker's 1976 film, will subsequently play Newcastle Theatre Royal, Mayflower Theatre, Southampton, Leeds Grand, Glasgow Theatre Royal, Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, Sheffield Lyceum, Leicester Curve, Milton Keynes Theatre, Theatre Royal, Plymouth, Manchester Opera House, Southend Cliffs Pavillion, Cardiff’s Wales Millennium Centre and Marlowe Theatre, and Canterbury, where it completes the tour in January 2023.

The lead roles are performed by three casts of seven in rotation: Bugsy Malone is played by Shaun Sharma, Gabriel Payne, and Amar Blackman; Blousey Brown by Mia Lakha, Delilah Bennett-Cardy, and Avive Williams; Fat Sam by Albie Snelson, Isham Sankoh, and Charlie Burns; Tallulah by Taziva-Faye Katsande, Jasmine Sakyiama, and Fayth Ifil; Fizzy by Aidan Oti, Elliott Arthur Mugume, and Ellis Sutherland; Lena/Babyface by Cherry Mitra, Kayla-Mai Alvares, and Ava Hope Smith; and Dandy Dan by Rayhaan Kufuor-Gray, Kit Cranston, and Desmond Cole.

They are joined by adult ensemble members Georgia Pemberton, Alisha Capon, Lucy Young, D’Mia Lindsay Walker, Jessica Daugrida, Alicia Ally, Alicia Belgarde, Esme Bacalla-Hayes, Luchia Moss, Kalifa Burton, Rory Fraser, Andile Mabhena, Thomas Walton, Ru Fisher, Mohamed Bangura, Marcus Billany, Luke Mills, and Will Lucas.

Bugsy Malone, directed by Sean Holmes, features a book by Parker and songs by Oscar winner Paul Williams, including "Ordinary Fool," "You Give a Little Love," and "Fat Sam’s Grand Slam."

Set during Prohibition, Bugsy Malone spotlights rival gangster bosses Fat Sam and Dandy Dan, who are at loggerheads. Enter Bugsy Malone, a penniless one-time boxer thrust not-so-willingly into the gangster limelight when he becomes the last resort for Fat Sam's hapless hoodlums. All Bugsy really wants to do is spend time with his new love, Blousey, but that just isn't on the cards.

The creative team also includes Olivier-winning choreographer Drew McOnie, music director Connagh Tonkinson, designer Jon Bausor, associate director Franny-Anne Rafferty, musical supervisor, arranger, and orchestrator Phil Bateman, lighting designer Phil Gladwell, sound designer Ben Harrison, associate choreographer Leanne Pinder, children's casting director Verity Noughton, adult casting director Will Burton, and wig designer Susannah Peretz.
